AGLC4 Rule 25.1.4: Cases: Starting Page and Pinpoint References

The starting page follows the report series, and any pinpoint follows after a comma, as for Australian reported cases. When the pinpoint is the first page, that page is repeated. Pinpoints to reported cases are to pages, and a paragraph number may be added.

AGLC4 page 266

Formatting

  • A single space separates the series abbreviation from the starting page.
  • A comma and a space precede the pinpoint.
  • A page range uses an unspaced en dash and may shorten the second number.
  • Where judges are named, their round bracket follows the pinpoint and comes before the court and year bracket.
